Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is a fan of live-action role-playing (LARPing), there are plenty of gift options that will enhance his experience in this exciting hobby. Here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas for your LARP-loving son:

1. LARP Weapons: A key element of LARPing is using specialized foam weapons to engage in combat. Consider gifting your son a high-quality LARP sword, axe, or bow that matches his preferred character or style. This will not only enhance his gameplay but also show that you understand his passion for the hobby.

2. Costumes and Accessories: LARPers love to immerse themselves in their characters, so help your son elevate his role by gifting him a new costume or some accessories. Whether it's a medieval knight, a fantasy wizard, or a steampunk adventurer, there are many online stores that offer LARP-specific clothing and accessories to choose from.

3. LARP Rulebooks or Adventure Modules: Help your son expand his LARPing horizons by gifting him rulebooks or adventure modules from different LARP systems. These resources provide new rules, settings, and storylines for him to explore, allowing him to dive deeper into his hobby and spark his imagination.

4. Camping Gear: Many LARP events take place outdoors and may involve camping overnight. Consider getting your son some camping gear that will make his LARPing experience more comfortable and convenient. Items like a quality sleeping bag, a camping hammock, or a portable camping stove can be extremely practical and appreciated.

5. Customized LARP Gear: For a truly personal touch, consider ordering customized LARP gear for your son. This could include a shield or armor piece with his initials or a symbol representing his LARP character. Custom-made items demonstrate thoughtfulness and add a unique touch to his equipment.

6. LARP Accessories: LARPers rely on various items during gameplay, such as spellbooks, potions, or scrolls. Look for themed LARP accessories like these to help your son create an immersive and realistic experience. You can even get creative and make some of these items yourself if you are up for a DIY project.

7. LARP Workshops or Classes: If your son is interested in improving his LARP skills or learning new ones, you could gift him a workshop or class pass. Many organizations and experienced LARPers offer workshops on combat techniques, character development, props making, and more. This gift will not only provide him with valuable knowledge but also allow him to connect with other LARP enthusiasts.

Remember, the most important part of gift-giving is showing your son that you support and value his interests. By choosing a thoughtful and personal gift that aligns with his passion for LARPing, you'll make this Christmas special and memorable for him.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
